Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array

Xiao Yan dared not blame his girlfriend's elders, especially since they hadn't done anything wrong, so he quickly replied with a smile:

"Aunt Jing, what are you saying? You're only thinking about their safety. Besides, Huo Zhi left me a letter explaining the situation."

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Li Lingjing's smile deepened. She didn't care that Xiao Yan could juggle multiple relationships; the strong in the Dou Qi Continent were never short of women.

However, Ling Yanfei had no mother since childhood, and her father was busy with clan affairs, so she was basically raised by Ling Yanfei. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two was like that of a mother and daughter.

She knew Ling Yanfei's personality all too well. She seemed calm and indifferent to many things, but in reality, she was holding back a lot of energy because of the Ling Clan. Ordinary people were not worth her attention, but she paid a lot of attention to Xiao Yan. She was not at all averse to getting close to him and had no intention of being forced.

After witnessing Xiao Yan's performance, Li Lingjing was able to fully understand Ling Yanfei's thoughts.

A boy not even fifteen years old was able to defeat Soul Hall Dou Zun!

And their performance was so brilliant.

As for Xiao Yan borrowing power, although she saw it, she didn't think it was cheating.

Even if someone else were given the power of Five-Star Dou Zun, they might not be able to fight to this extent against Three-Star Dou Zun from the Soul Hall.

Xiao Yan, with only the strength of One-Star Dou Zun, was able to kill her in such a short time. Such combat skills and courage are undoubtedly the most attractive to girls who are in the bloom of youth!

Even she, as an elder, thought this child was truly remarkable; if she had met her when she was young, she probably would have been attracted to her too.

She was once an unparalleled prodigy in the Sound Valley. The most outstanding talents in the Central Plains would even fight each other to win her smile. In the end, she was attracted by Ling Yao, the Clan Chief of the Ling Clan who was traveling across the continent at the time, and fell in love with him.

If she weren't now the Supreme Elder of the Sound Valley, unable to abandon the sect that raised her, Ling Yanfei would probably be calling her Aunt or Stepmother.

There's no way around it; the Ling Clan is full of handsome men and beautiful women. To become the Clan Chief of the Ling Clan, Ling Yao is an exceptionally talented and handsome man. No matter how powerful those prodigies of the Central Plains are, they can never compare to someone who can become the patriarch of Ancient Clans.

However, this was not something worth boasting about, so even the once-powerful Old Yao Central Plains not know that the senior sister of Sound Valley, who was known as the Fairy of Fairy Jing in Central Plains, was actually the Li Lingjing in front of him.

"You're a sensible child. Xiaofei and the others are protected by powerful figures from other clans outside, so they'll be fine. I'm not in a hurry to leave. You want to study that so-called martial arts, right? I'll stay here and protect you."

The more Li Lingjing looked at Xiao Yan, the more satisfied she became. A gentle and loving smile appeared on her pretty face as she softly spoke.

It seems that Aunt Jing and Senior Yan Fei are closer than I imagined.

Looking at the loving smile on Li Lingjing's face, Xiao Yan seemed to be deep in thought, but his expression became somewhat serious.

"Anyway, there are ten futons, and the six of us can't use them all. Aunt Jing, why don't you also try to comprehend some of them? Perhaps you can gain something from this otherworldly martial arts. As for the matter of protecting the Dharma..."

As Xiao Yan spoke, he casually waved his hand, and ten Dou Zong- level Devouring Puppet appeared to the side, lined up neatly in a row.

"This is... a puppet?"

After taking in the deep aura of these Devouring Puppet, whose appearances were somewhat eerie due to their super-assembled nature, Li Lingjing looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.

She really hadn't expected Xiao Yan to have this trick up his sleeve.

Moreover, in her perception, these puppets were not ordinary puppets. The surrounding energy of heaven and earth would be strangely devoured after getting within three inches of their bodies, making their bodies seem as if they had a thin membrane that isolated energy and prevented detection.

If Xiao Flame Master allowed these puppets to release their auras, even she probably wouldn't have been able to detect that each of these puppets was comparable to Dou Zong powerhouse.

Thinking back to her own cultivation days in the sect, when many fellow disciples devoted their entire lives to cultivation but could not compare to these puppets that had been crafted, Li Lingjing felt a deep sense of emotion.

In fact, given her aptitude and the resources of Sound Valley, reaching the Dou Zun Realm was already her limit. Among the Three Valleys of Central Plains, Sound Valley has always maintained a low profile. The fundamental reason for this is that Sound Valley has long since declined and it is not appropriate for it to get involved in the disputes of Central Plains.

The strongest person in Sound Valley right now is this Supreme Elder the Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun. But below her, there is only the Sound Valley Master, who is at the Four-Star Peak Dou Zun. Compared to the Valley Masters of the other two valleys, she is ultimately weaker.

Now, with the resources of the Ling Clan, after years of honing her fighting Dou Qi, she has finally reached the realm of Half-Saint. If it weren't for the need to secretly take care of Ling Yanfei, she should be in seclusion in the Ling Clan right now, trying to break through to the Half-Saint realm.

Comprehending martial arts from another world?

Perhaps this will help me break through my current limitations?

After a moment's hesitation, Li Lingjing nodded under Xiao Yan's smiling gaze:

"That's fine, but we still need an extra layer of protection."

Having said that, the aura of Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun within her body surged forth without reservation. As her hand seals shifted, Xiao Yan could clearly sense that the Dou Qi within Li Lingjing's body was constructing something akin to a domain... an array?

A look of surprise appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. So Aunt Jing's expertise was in the art of formations?

He had intended to ask Old Yao in his mind if he could glean any information about the formation, but Li Lingjing seemed to sense Xiao Yan's confusion and explained while casting the spell:

"This is the Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array. Firstly, it can protect us when we are comprehending martial arts; secondly, the array can bless the person within, making their mind clear and lucid, unburdened by external things, and undeceived by inner demons."

The Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array!

This was the first time Xiao Yan and the others had ever heard of such a formation, and they watched Li Lingjing perform it with great curiosity.

Li Lingjing lightly raised her hand, and invisible threads of Dou Qi flowed from her fingertips. These threads of Dou Qi carried a wonderful rhythm, like plucking invisible strings.

As she completed the hand seal, the entire hall seemed to be like a lake with pebbles thrown in, rippling with circles of transparent ripples that were barely visible to the naked eye.

Buzz--!

A deep and resonant hum seemed to come from ancient times, or perhaps it resonated directly in the depths of everyone's soul.

The sound wasn't harsh; instead, it carried a sense of tranquility that cleansed the soul, instantly calming the tension and restlessness left by the previous fierce battle.

Immediately afterwards, the five mysterious musical notes of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu intertwined and resonated. Although there was no physical sound source, they clearly flowed through every corner of the hall, forming an invisible musical barrier— the Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array.

The moment the formation was completed, Xiao Yan and the others immediately sensed something different.

The violent energy shockwaves around them were completely shut out, and the lingering smell of blood and burnt matter inside the hall seemed to have been purified.

Even more miraculously, a cool sensation surged in from the top of the head, penetrating straight into the sea of consciousness, making one's thinking clearer and sharper than ever before, eliminating all distracting thoughts, and leaving the mind as clear as a still mirror.

Even the energy of heaven and earth permeating the air seemed to become gentle and easier to absorb under the guidance of this rhythm.

"What an amazing formation!"

Si Yuan couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The others shared the same feeling, but Xiao Yan felt it the most deeply.

His soul power at the Mid-Stage Spirit Realm was already strong, and now, with the blessing of the Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array, he felt that even if he refined Eighth-Grade Pill with Five-Colored Pill Lightning, it would probably not be a problem.

At this moment, through his soul power, he could even "hear" the subtle pulses of the surrounding space; this formation was truly extraordinary!

"Aunt Jing's formation is truly mysterious and unfathomable."

Xiao Yan exclaimed in sincere admiration.

Li Lingjing smiled slightly, exuding elegance and grace.

"That's enough. The formation is complete, and with your puppets guarding it, it should be foolproof. Let's not delay, let's begin."

Her gaze swept over the ten futons that exuded an ancient fragrance, and she took light steps, walking towards one of them first.

As she approached, the futon seemed to be activated, its surface shimmering with a warm, jade-like luster.

Xiao Yan nodded and said to Queen Medusa, Zi Yan, and Si Yuan:

"Let us each choose a meditation cushion to sit down and calm our minds to contemplate this rare opportunity. Let us not miss this chance presented by the Primordial Martial Stele."

Following instructions, everyone walked towards the prayer mats. Queen Medusa chose the mat to Xiao Yan's left, while Zi Yan hopped and skipped to occupy the mat to Xiao Yan's right. Si Yuan and the other two respectfully bowed to Li Lingjing and Xiao Yan before choosing three prayer mats that were a little further away to sit down.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and looked firmly at the seemingly ordinary futon in front of him.

He sat down cross-legged, and the moment his buttocks touched the futon, an indescribable coolness surged into his body from the futon, instantly merging with the clear and ethereal sounds of the Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array, allowing him to completely calm down, as if entering a mysterious state of being without joy or sorrow, and forgetting both self and things.

As the seven people took their seats, a strange light emanated from the Primordial Martial Stele, encompassing all seven people on the stone platform.

The instant the light spread across his body, Xiao Yan clearly felt a chilling sensation scan across his body, followed by a moment of mental disorientation.

A vortex of light slowly appeared on the Primordial Martial Stele.

An irresistible suction force emanated from the vortex, drawing out a wisp of Xiao Yan's soul power almost uncontrollably, which then entered the vortex of light.

Inside the main hall, seven figures sat quietly on futons, their bodies surrounded by mysterious musical ripples.

The ten Devouring Puppet stood silently at the edge of the formation, like the most loyal guards.

With puppets guarding the outside and music purifying the mind inside, the radiance of the Supreme Wonderful Five-Tone Array rippled gently like water, completely isolating this space into a tranquil and sacred place for enlightenment.

In the air, only the faint, mysterious five-tone melody echoed softly.

After his soul power was absorbed into the vortex of light, Xiao Yan's mind went blank for a moment, the stars shifted before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically.

The stone platform and the vast plaza vanished silently amidst ripples in the space.

Instead, there was an endless starry sky. Xiao Yan looked down and found himself floating in this vast starry sky. This novel experience made him wave his arms as if he were swimming in water.

My gaze swept across the surroundings, and countless streaks of light flashed past like shooting stars.

Amidst those streaks of light, Xiao Yan could clearly discern energy fluctuations of varying strengths, within which figures displaying martial arts techniques could be faintly seen flashing by.

"Are these shooting stars the martial arts techniques from the Primordial Martial Stele?"

Gazing at the overwhelming meteors, Xiao Yan was filled with astonishment. Could the martial arts techniques stored within the Primordial Martial Stele really be so vast?

The Tianxuan Continent, a continent still in its growth stage, is truly enviable.

Xiao Yan subconsciously used the Three Thousand Lightning Movement, appearing next to a shooting star. He reached out and easily caught it in his palm.

The starlight slowly dissipated, coalescing into an ancient book-like volume, on which were written some unfamiliar characters.

After the words came into view, they were transformed into meanings that Xiao Yan could understand and appeared in his mind.

"Superior Grade Ninth-Grade Martial Art, Three Origin Lightning Method!"

After pondering for a moment over this superior martial art, Xiao Yan released it directly.

His goal was at least the Creation Martial Arts, or even the sect's inheritance of the Primordial One-Qi Sect. Although Ninth-Grade martial arts were not bad, his appetite was even greater.

Xiao Yan stood there, lost in thought.

If he remembered correctly, when Lin Dong obtained the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heaven Finger, he seemed to have communicated with the spirit of the stone tablet.

Therefore, if Xiao Yan wants to obtain the Creation Martial Arts, or even the inheritance of the Primordial One-Qi Sect, he should probably do so in the same way.

Realizing this, Xiao Yan raised his head and looked into the depths of the starry sky.

He could vaguely sense that he would get what he wanted there.

Therefore, Xiao Yan pushed his speed to the limit and rushed into the depths of the starry sky. At the same time, he released his soul power in an attempt to communicate with the spirit of the monument.

After flying for an unknown period of time, the "martial arts meteors" around him gradually became scarcer, and an invisible force began to appear around Xiao Yan, as if investigating or scrutinizing him.

A moment later, the invisible force suddenly trembled, as if it had finally found something. Then, it immediately unleashed a terrifying suction force that Xiao Yan not resist, dragging his body and turning him into a shooting star, crashing into the deepest part of the starry sky.

"Clang!!!"

An ancient bell suddenly rang out, and Xiao Yan's vision, which had been blurred into afterimages, became clear almost instantly. However, what followed was a strong sense of dizziness from going from extreme speed to sudden stop. Xiao Yan's body swayed violently, but he was supported by an invisible force.

A warm and bright light bloomed before his eyes, and a huge ball of light squeezed into Xiao Yan's field of vision.
